Another glimpse of some ERMIE Fall '11 Textiles...these were all developed from my recent purchases from Kneeland Co. Vintage Berber textiles. Scanned, edited, cropped, enlarged, tweaked, repeated, collaged. Some of the prints capture the nubby texture of the original woven textiles. Others are more like watercolors. You better like color if you are planning to wear ERMIE for Fall :)

I started goofing off...There's aphoto of Patti Smith I was trying to emulate here...hm. I don't think headbands are for me. I just think of Luke Wilson's character in The Royal Tenenbaums when I look at this photo.

I've been enjoying playing with the color in my photographs lately.Sometimes I think everything starts to look the same on my blog & in blog-land...so many 'tasteful' photos...it all becomes too homogeneous. So I thought I'd push the envelope a tad with a few of these shots. The color is a little psychedelic here...I was inspired by Billy Name's photographs of the Factory. Would you believe me if I told you I've never tried LSD? Many of my Tumblr followers will be disappointed...

Well, you ladies sure know how to make a gal feel good!! Thanks for all your generous comments. I'm pleased you like the new prints & the your compliments about my appearance sure gave me an ego boost!

Cheryl, yes, lets wear our head bands together ;)I think of this when I look at that photo too :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8FK1TQZWTU
